  • Snowflake’s transition from storing data to shipping with it

    Snowflake’s transition from storing data to shipping with it
    2026/04/08
    Snowflake is betting that the future of AI isn’t just analyzing data, it’s acting on it. That means a shift away from chatbots and toward autonomous agents that can actually get work done. And Snowflake is reorganizing fast to keep up, from shipping hundreds of AI features to restructuring teams along the way.On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Rebecca Bellan sits down with Snowflake CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy to unpack the company’s transformation and what it signals about where AI is headed next. Listen to the full episode to hear: Why Ramaswamy believes the chatbot era is ending and the agentic era is beginning. How Snowflake is evolving from a data warehouse into an AI and applications platform. What “shipping with your data” actually looks like in practice. Why the company is making big internal changes to support its AI push. Subscribe to Equity on ⁠YouTube⁠,⁠ Apple Podcasts⁠,⁠ Overcast⁠,⁠ Spotify⁠ and all the casts.

  • Space: the final frontier of AI infrastructure

    Space: the final frontier of AI infrastructure
    2026/04/03
    Tech companies are racing to build data centers in space, pitching orbital compute as the next frontier for AI infrastructure, even as the technical and economic realities remain far from clear. Add in OpenAI’s massive $122 billion round and Bluesky’s latest AI backlash, and the message is clear: The future of AI is being shaped as much by ambition and hype as it is by real-world constraints. On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Kirsten Korosec, Anthony Ha, and Sean O’Kane unpack these massive capital bets, user backlash, and off-world compute plans along with Whoop’s major valuation and the literal downfall of robot Olaf. Listen to the full episode to hear about: OpenAI’s $122 billion fundraise and what its near-trillion-dollar valuation says about expectations for AI. Whoop’s $575 million raise and the shift toward “wearables 2.0” (and what happens to all that data). Bluesky’s AI-powered feed builder and why it triggered a major user backlash. The rise of data centers in space and whether they are financially or physically feasible. Subscribe to Equity on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify, and all the casts.

  • Why private wealth is cutting out the VC middleman

    Why private wealth is cutting out the VC middleman
    2026/04/01
    The VC middleman is getting cut out faster than anyone expected. Family offices and private wealth firms are going direct: writing checks, taking board seats, even incubating companies from scratch. And more founders are starting to notice. In February alone, family offices made 41 direct investments, including one Midwest-based firm that led a $230 million Series B into an AI chip startup. On this episode of TechCrunch's Equity podcast, Rebecca Bellan caught up with Mitch Stein and Ari Schottenstein, founder and head of alternatives at ARENA Private Wealth, to find out what this shift means for founders, cap tables, and the future of AI investment. Listen to the full episode to hear: How Arena landed the lead on Positron's $230 million Series B, and why the CEO specifically wanted them on his cap table How Arena does due diligence on technical companies What "tourist capital" actually looks like, and the red flags founders should watch for as family offices flood into AI deals Why some VCs are quietly unhappy about this trend (and why Arena thinks that's their problem) Subscribe to Equity on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the casts. You also can follow Equity on X and Threads, at @EquityPod. Chapters: 00:00 Intro 03:13 Why family offices are going direct now 06:03 The gen 2 & gen 3 family office shift 07:22 Is this strategic or just AI FOMO? 10:17 How Arena got into the Positron deal 14:30 Why founders want private wealth on their cap table 18:31 Due diligence on technical companies 21:56 Red flags founders should watch for 25:04 Are VCs threatened by this trend? 27:47 Taking board seats & level of involvement 34:17 Outro Learn more about your ad choices.
